Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan

About Me

OUR SONGS CONTAIN: Bald-headed birds in dirty underwear, spirits flying beyond time, home-sick steel workers, lost souls, a guest of honor crying at his own funeral, old folks, autumn days, a clock witnessing a murder, weeds, cobwebs, yellow bellied sap suckers, and other deep stuff we have gathered from first-hand observation of life and carefully taken down in brown crayon.We've been right here in this dream all along, waiting for you. Think of all the fun we can have before we wake up!Thanks for finding us.Jack & Misty*** VITAL STATISTICS: Both born in May, at the Millard Fillmore Hospital, Buffalo, New York. Both have blue eyes and brown hair. Both had parents named John and Mary, and sisters named Virginia. Both have traced ancestors to the Alsace-Lorraine area of Europe.
